Apogee ´FullRange´ Ribbon Speakers, deeply into the music..

[ApogeeUser]

Some only seem to feel good when they can find something to critisize...... Sorry, I am not a professional filmer and the video wasn´t intended to be educational or to show the best there is............... Next time I´ll ask Steven Spielberg to produce my video....

[lovephd]

All the money invested in the audio equipment and it looks as though the video was recorded with a crap camera phone. You can't see really anything very well at all! Can't see the speakers, at least anything but the couple seconds of the front of them.

[TullioWalker]

Not a Krell enthusiast myself but Apogee are really great speakers.

[1968DartGTS]

Beautiful set up. 

[lepassant50]

sans doute une des plus magnifique technologie au service de l'audiophile fortuné hélas...lol... l'apogée est une pure merveille ..merci

[jjasonell]

they are cool speakers sound so good love to have a set .

[49kasey]

I don't know why everyone is blowing their own horns, I think your system sounds great. Crispness means everything to me and yours has it in spades.

[Pedro4k]

these speakers suck moose cock. get some vintage JBLs and call it a day.

[gli7utubeo]

Used to have Stages. A woofer started buzzing. Miss them. Sigh...

Believe it or not, I used to drive a pair of Scintillas with Krell's 2nd (I believe) ever amp, a KSA50. It had capacitors the size of tall boy cans. And the sound, very sweet liquid and musical. The bass, unbelievably clean and deep. The Scintillas I had were older than these shown, because the enclosure was more rounded. It was set at 2 ohms (whatever the lowest number was). I used a tube preamp and it was magic. Wish I could locate a pair now!

[BeHomeBy11]

Hah. I just realized these were the full range. The Scintillas had a different mid-treble ribbon arrangement and of course were smaller.

[Philscbx]

I can't recall the brand name at the moment, but this design was done in the 70's when I worked at a cool high end stereo shop.

Maybe I'll discover them in this category listing.

The panels were quite large about 2-3 inches thick, 5-6 feet tall.

This is back in the days of the famous ESS towers.

I loved those to death how they squeezed out the sound between thin wafered towers.

Impressive system here.

I had to turn my gear down in fear of getting eye poked out by violin bow.

Cheers

These bad boys can produce sound pressure levels that one would never expect from a planar speaker.

The manual says its 115 dBs in 4 Meter distance. But thats only part of the truth...

You won´t be able to destroy the ribbons with electrical power you put in it in contrast to any conventional speaker with its delicate wires in the moving coils.

And mechanically I can´t think of an event that may hurt them because the ribbons only need to do very small excursions for very high levels.

[ApogeeFreak]

Oh sorry, I just saw that the question refered to how LOW the speaker can play.

It goes down to 30 Herz with no great sound pressure loss and has a bass authority and cleanness that really is a dream come true............

[Nirvalica]

How low can these bad boys play?

[tanyafitness]

by the way.... what happened to the Apogee website? Not showing up anymore for me.  tanyafitness. com

[tanyafitness]

wasn't feeling the sideways video

[theotherskywalker]

I was on apogee websit. they say you need 4 channels 100 watts is that for both or just one. and the watts just a 100 all together or the channels make up 400 or each is 25 watts

[jasonsr3]

you need to put some DMX on those...just kidding :)

[Loopoptiman]

I have a par of Apogee centaurus spekers

[Jun127]

I want your house.

[akikoyyy]

I used to have Cadence Arista (made in india) electrostatic hybrid speakers. This sounds remarkably similar. Very nice.

[clicksute]

I wish i had a system like that to play all my tunes on, I like all kinds of music, but i would like hear reggae on a system like that. Thank you for the treat.

[wot2wot2]

not bad for entry level system

[christopherwoods]

You know you've become jaded by the world of high end hifi when you say...
